• generates pixel art for your image

• and maybe occasionally smudge it too..

• special thanks to Alexander for the improved binary size

• Rust (version 1.65 or later)

Follow the steps below to clone the repository and build the project.

To get started, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/sofaspawn/pxlate.git
cd pxlate

Next, build the project using the following command:

cargo build --release

Finally, run the project using the following command:

cargo run --release

To install the binary on your system, run the following command:

cargo install --path .

This allows you to the application as a command:

pxlate pixelate <image_path> <output_image> 20

• take image as input in the form of command arguements

• read the image pixels

• make a square window of 2x2 pixels

• replace the window with the average value of the 2x2 pixel grid

• move the window for the entire image

• render the image

• add more functions such as "actual" pixelate, negative, etc...

• downscale image -> apply color from color pallete -> upscale image

• improve the ui

• add commands for changing the scaling factor

• add commands to check if the user wants to pixelate or smudge

• automatically change the scaling factor based on the file size of images

• restructure the color palette code

• gracefully handle errors

• black is almost always red (check the color_diff)
• the scaling factor changes for every image i.e. make it more user friendly i.e.i.e. add a command for that
